Zero Crazy!

Zero Crazy! is an activity that includes a pre-observation, 3 weeks of activities/messaging, and a post-observation. You have the whole semester to complete the activity and as long as we get everything back by the due date, we’ll send your team a $100 gift card! In the fall we take on seat belts and in the spring, it’s distracted driving. Observations are done to get a picture of the problem and again to see if your team made a difference. It’s crazy fun and your team gets rewarded!

Zero Crazy is an All-Star requirement!

TDS All-Star points are awarded for completing both observations and returning them, plus you get your normal points when you complete activities and report them. Once everything is completed and returned your team gets a $100 gift card to celebrate your accomplishments. If you complete BOTH Zero Crazy activities, you will earn 40 All-Star points and $200 in gift cards!

Gift cards are sponsored by

Steps to Complete Zero Crazy!

Sign up – If your rep has not signed you up automatically, sign up below to participate.
Watch for the instruction email – You will be emailed the observation forms and instructions.
Catch the Crazy! – Perform field observations at your school by observing real driving behavior and counting the Crazy drivers (pre-observation).
Shift the Crazy! – Do some mad, crazy activities around your school for a full three weeks to let these drivers know the risk they are taking.
Catch the Crazy! – Perform another field observation to see how many Crazy drivers you shifted (post-observation).
Pizza Party Like Crazy! – Return all your field pre- and post-observations to Teens in the Driver Seat and we’ll send you a $100 gift card so you can party it up! We’ll also award your school 15 TDS All-Star Points for completing the activity (with a bonus of 10 points if both activities are completed) and send you back a report so you can see how your school did compared to other schools.

Who can participate?

Any active (2018-19 school year) Teens in the Driver Seat program school. If you are not currently active, it’s easy to do! Contact your regional representative to get started.

When can our team expect the gift card?

After the activity has ended, we will request the gift cards (patience with our business office 🙂 ). Fall gift cards are sent out in January and Spring gift cards are sent in May.

Please Review and Agree to all Instructions Below
Because we use this information in reports and teams are awarded cash and TDS Cup points, we must ensure the quality of the information collected during this activity. Please review each instruction and agree to them. If activity forms are late or incorrect, your school may be disqualified from receiving the gift card and/or All-Star points. If you have any questions, please email them to s-tisdale@tti.tamu.edu.
Will your TDS team be able to commit to all phases of Zero Crazy and return all pre- and post-observations to TDS before the deadline?*
- Yes
Pre- and post-observations must be returned before the deadline to receive the gift card and TDS All-Star points. Activities (during step 2) must be reported by the school. Zero Crazy activity points are automatically given once both pre- and post- are received (no activity report is required).
We will use observation time to only take counts, not for messaging or rewarding behavior.*
- Thumbs Up
i.e. no signs, warnings, or speaking to drivers or passengers. This will result in truer counts.
Instructional Video - https://youtu.be/hJKgVdu_7kU*
- Watched it
I have watched the observation instruction video and will have the observation team also watch it.
I will use the correct observation form for both observations.*
- Got it
If you are a junior high or are a high school that does not have many teen drivers, please use the Junior High form for both observations. If you are a high school, please use the High School form for both observations.
Our team will observe at least 100 cars, or if a smaller school, about 90% of driving population that enters the school. Observations should be done on the same day and at one time.*
- Will do
This will give us a good sampling of the habits at your location.
My observation team and I have read the tips on how to be safe and how to get an accurate count during observations. All can be found here> http://www.t-driver.com/zerocrazyseatbelt/*
- Absolutely
1) Don't guess. 2) Use the same vehicle count for both observations. 3) Use the same team and location for both observations. 4) Make sure everyone knows how to take counts.
I will make sure all spaces are completed at the top of the observation forms before being returned.*
